Confirmed this bug also exists in Keepalived v1.1.17 as of Ubuntu Lucid:

Dec 29 06:48:57 dmzlvs001 Keepalived_vrrp: SIOCGMIIREG on eth0 failed: Input/output error

According to their mailing lists, this has to do with the fact that
1.1.17 uses a new strategy for network health and VRRP (mii-tool is
often mentioned), which has caused those error messages to quite
literally flood syslog and messages (24 hours has yielded over 21GB of
logs!).  It seems that e1000e dropped support for some things that mii-
tool still retains in legacy form?
